Reviews of Dr. Johal & Associates - Fairview Park Optometrists (Ophthalmologist)

Haley Nunn

Dr. Johal and staff are absolutely amazing. I left my previous eye care professional to become a patient here and I am so glad I did. He really takes the time to ensure your vision is the best it possibly can be. He always asks how University is for me, and even remembered that I graduated this year. This place really cares about their patients. I can't say enough good things. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an eye care professional.

Dan Howse

Peter & Colleen Lovell

The good Dr. and all who work for him are amazing, super friendly people. As an occasional teacher I don’t always have coverage. I am thankful for a man who is not just out to fix and clean teeth but works with families, giving assurance and peace of mind.

Go get your eyes checked at Dr. Johal! From the time you walk in and meet Claudia and Jennifer and meet you, they are wonderful by the way, to meeting with Dr. Johal, you won't be disappointed!

I have been seeing Dr. Johal for several years now and there is a reason I stay. He is a great doctor who truly cares about his patients. He reviews your file with you and takes the time to explain everything. He has a great personality and a funny sense of humour. I genuinely feel cared for when I work with him. His team, led by Claudia are also fantastic. Claudia is informative, friendly, and takes the time to explain all the tests. Together they are the dynamic duo of Optometry. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for first class eye care!

Quick and easy! Booked an appointment the same week for my first eye exam ever and I was ready to go afterwards with my prescription to Lens Crafters next door to pick out my frames.

Bethany Phillips

Wonderful experience yet again. I added onto my review from 2 years ago because they truly deserve the positive review. Thank you to all the staff who helped today. I had a pleasant conversation with Dr. Johal and his staff are always lovely. Thank you! My previous review: The Optometrist was great and answered all my questions. The receptionist was friendly and took time to talk to us even though she was busy. I will definitely be back and would recommend them. A lot of people expect to be treated like royalty and give poor reviews for their own lack of patience. Relax folks.

Gordon Leachman

Linda Lovegrove

as a new patient, it was great to call at 11am and get a same day appointment!

Melanie

Dr. Johal & Associates are highly professional and courteous when it comes to customer satisfaction and information related to explaining everything about the service you’re in for. I specifically see Dr. Hutt, he’s amazingly kind and is able to explain everything that’s going on to me in a way that actually makes sense. I’m not afraid to bring up my problems during the eye exam (which is also extremely comprehensive) to ensure I’m getting the “perfect” prescription. He’s able to accommodate and explain the best possible route for me to take and try different brands and types to see what’s right. The front desk staff are hospitable and friendly and always try to help you out fully with an concerns you maybe have prior to coming in. Highly, highly recommended!

Hump Day

Friendly, professional, and very helpful.

Doctor Hutt was amazing! I’ve been wearing glasses since age 9 and contacts since age 15 so I’ve been to many optometrists but he was probably the best. He won’t pressure you to purchase contacts from them (although I did and it came early) and was very helpful and courteous. I will definitely return and recommend Dr. Hutt to anyone :)

Very very impressive friendly service. The first employee that served me said “I love my job” in a very matter of fact - that’s all there is to say - manner. You sure don’t see a lot of that today. Refreshing. Dr Johal was very knowledgeable and keen to educate the patient as well. He was also very enthusiastic and fun to talk to. A surprisingly fun appointment with absolute confidence in the diagnosis and service I received. Definite credit to the profession.
